This engraving portrays three distinct figures: an Egyptian Mamluk, an Egyptian lady, and an Almee or dancing girl, representative of Egypt's social diversity. The Mamluk stands prominently, symbolizing military authority, while the women illustrate the cultural and social spheres, with the Almee suggestive of performance arts prevalent in Egyptian culture. Set against the backdrop of the iconic pyramids, this scene captures the essence of 19th-century Egyptian society.
This is a circa 1801 copperplate engraving from George Alexander Cooke's "Universal Geography" . The print is part of George Alexander Cooke's comprehensive work "A Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography."
